Hi,

Different people have different ideas about what a dashboard actually is!  Generically, it's usually a collection of summarised information, usually displayed visually via charts/maps etc, all on the same page.

You could use Report Studio to build a single dashboard report with multiple reporting objects on the same report page.

You could add a new page to Cognos Connection and assemble multiple pre-authored reports onto it to form a dashboard.

You could install Cognos 8 GO! Dashboard to allow users to assemble their own dashboards using pre-authored content.

There are probably other options available too.  I guess it would help if you could be more specific about your real requirements.

Regards,

MF.
